What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
Which type of landforms develops plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath one another?
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
When Volcanoes found where two oceanic plates collide form at a what?
Island Arcs
What geologic features of the ocean floor do you think are formed by crustal plates moving together?
Island Arcs and Ranges.
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
This happens in front of Island Arcs and in at destructive plate boundaries.
What is leads to the creation of island arcs?
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
Are trenches related to island arcs?
no
What has the author Arata Sugimura written?
Arata Sugimura has written: 'Island arcs: Japan and its environs' -- subject(s): Island arcs
Where do island arcs form?
In the Pacific Ocean.
What are 2 different island arcs?
japan and Philippines
What process forms island arcs?
Island arcs are formed from the subduction and melting of oceanic crust as it descends into the mantle underneath a less dense oceanic crust at a convergent plate boundary. The subduction results in the creation of undersea volcanoes which then rise above sea level. The resulting volcanoes create a string of islands called an island arc. The curve of an island arc echoes the curve of its deep-ocean trench.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence rise to?
volcanic island arcs
Do earthquakes occur near island arcs?

What is the differences between volcanic island arcs and volcanic arcs?
Volcanic arcs form at plate subduction zones. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. Because the islands are moving with the oceanic plate, they eventually are removed from the hot spot, forming a chain of islands in the direction of the plate movement.
What landforms do oceanic-oceanic boundaries form?
Volcanoes and island arcs
On which type of plate boundary do island arcs occur?
convergent boundaries
